Las vueltas del citrillo

Nov 10 2006 N/A 1h 35m
Drama, Fantasy

1903, before the Revolution? The Citrillo?s Turns is a pulque bar in Mexico City, in which beings with no present or future gather to drink their lives away and tell stories of the dead and apparitions. Thus is woven a story of real passions ?love, betrayal, jealousy, pillage- in an atmosphere of drunkenness and hallucination.

Plot

Mexico, the beginning of the 20th century; in the times of the Porfirio Díaz dictatorship, the film does not surrender to the temptation of a meticulous historical chronicle. Rather, the film's scope is deliberately narrow; instead of a grandiose, revolutionary epic, it remains closer to a chamber piece, a sort of grotesque, colloquially exuberant and highly cinematic portrayal of decadence.
